Description

Note: The MakerDisk microSD card has been TESTED and APPROVED by the Raspberry Pi for use with Raspberry Pi Products.

Note: The MakerDisk microSD card comes Pre-loaded with Raspberry Pi OS and is ready to boot up on any Raspberry Pi computer. Please DO NOT format it if you intend to use it with the Raspberry Pi board.

MicroSD cards in single-board computers serve as the primary system drive where applications run actively. Unlike video recording (which relies on sequential streams), operating systems read and write a high volume of small, random chunks of data.

Many Raspberry Pi users have a common doubt: What type of microSD card is best for Raspberry Pi? Well, we have been asking the same question since day 1:) Now, let’s trust the Raspberry Pi team which is the designer and producer of Raspberry Pi. They recommend Class A1 because of the characteristic of Raspberry Pi accessing the memory on the microSD card. The random read and write speed is critical. For details of Class A1, please refer to here.

This MakerDisk microSD card comes straight from the factory and it is pre-loaded with Raspberry Pi OS, so it can boot up on all Raspberry Pi computers(EXCEPT for Raspberry Pi ZeroW/WH which needs 32-bit OS) right out of the box. Please DO NOT format it. If you want to load other Operating Systems, we would recommend getting the Raspberry Pi Imager and choosing the preferred Operating System.
